Method Holds Promise In Identifying Markers Of Non-metastatic Vs. Meta
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have used a new strategy to identify differences between non-metastatic and highly metastatic breast cancer cells. The article by Valerie Montel et al., "Expression profiling of primary tumors and matched lymphatic and lung metastases in a xenogeneic breast cancer model,"appears in the May 2005 issue of The American Journal of Pathology and is accompanied by a commentary. Scientific Literacy Happens -- When Students Think For Themselves
Give college students less instruction and more freedom to think for themselves in laboratory classes, and the result may be a four-fold increase in their test scores. So says Steve Rissing, a professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology at Ohio State University. Rissing played a major role in revamping the way the university teaches its introductory-level biology courses. Race And Sex Disparities In Heart Attack Care, Survival Not Improving
Differences based on race and sex in treatment patterns for hospitalized American heart attack patients have remained unchanged over an eight-year period, despite improvements in quality of heart attack care during this time, Emory and Yale School of Medicine researchers write in the August 18 issue of New England Journal of Medicine. Using Molecular Technique, Researcher Identify Hospital Pool Bacterial
A team of researchers, led by an environmental engineer at Washington University in St. Louis, has applied a molecular approach to identify the biological particles in aerosol responsible for making employees of a Colorado hospital therapeutic pool ill. How fMRI And Neural Signals Develop In Young Animals
Using fMRI to study early brain development requires learning more about the fMRI signal in the developing brain. MIT neuroscientists studying rats found the signal changes during first few weeks of life in relation to actual brain activity. Correcting for those changes, the researchers could monitor the development of the rat brain. The findings also identified a key player in the age-related changes in neurovascular coupling that gives rise to the BOLD signal. New Life for Stem Cell Bills
A new, Democrat-controlled Congress plans to reintroduce stem cell legislation as one of its first priorities. In Bodyhack. Immune cells use 'bungee of death' to kill dangerous cells, new resear
Immune cells ensnare dangerous cells that are on the run with a bungee-like nanotube, according to new research. The study shows that natural killer cells use this bungee to destroy cells that could otherwise escape them. Squeezing More Shelf Life Out Of Milk
Putting the squeeze on milk may be a long-sought solution to the search for improved ways of killing harmful bacteria in milk and increasing its shelf life without introducing off-flavors into the beverage, researchers report. Decoding Effects Of Toxins On Embryo Development Apparent
Changes in gene expression patterns in zebrafish embryos resulting from exposure to environmental toxins can identify the individual toxins at work, according to new research. The genetic response of zebrafish to each toxin can be read like a barcode, offering researchers a potential method for identifying the effects of the toxin on developing vertebrate embryos. Groundhog Day
